Kenyatta: Trump in just six weeks has made life more expensive, has made America sicker, has made us weaker. And he got up on that stage and just lied to the American people. The only American energy that was unleashed was the full gaslighting that we saw in front of our face.

Joe Biden handed Donald Trump the best economy in the world
When his term ended, America’s GDP was a steady 2.3%
In the course of one week, not only did Trump wipe out all those gains
He now has the US GDP at NEGATIVE 2.8%
That’s a plunge of 5.1%

Trump has no idea what Musk and DOGE are cutting. Republicans in Congress certainly have no clue.
Musk’s "transparency” is full of lies: 5 of the top 7 line items were proven to be false.
These cuts hurt ALL Americans — Democrats and Republicans alike.

DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes
